Contra Costa's bike and pedestrian advocates got a direct hand in a $43.4M federal grant pool on May 18, 2026. The Countywide Active Transportation Advisory Committee unanimously named four members to score local trail and bikeway applications, backed a Vision Zero policy update that preserves federal safety-grant eligibility, and heard the opening pitch for a Measure J successor that could shape transportation spending for 30 years.
- Four-member panel approved to score bike-ped grants in a bundled, five-fund call for projects
- Vision Zero weighting could rise from 16% to 20%-25% of grant scores
- Measure J successor listening phase runs through summer; CCTA pitches an extension, not a tax increase
- Vision Zero amendment backed 12-0, keeping FY26 federal Safe Streets eligibility intact
- Bylaws vote postponed as members push for more say over agendas
The basics: OBAG 4 is the fourth cycle of the One Bay Area Grant program, administered regionally by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. Measure J Programs 12 (TLC) and 13 (Pedestrian, Bicycle and Trail Facilities, or PBTF) are local sales tax programs.
